Digital Skills

We want to help our tenant’s have the skills to use the Internet confidently and have access to computers or laptops

Access to the Internet via a computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone is becoming increasingly important in todays world, as more tasks move online. Cadwyn want to help our tenants in any way we can. We present a range of opportunities from providing training & equipment to help & advice on internet deals.

Did You Know?

Online households are on average £440 a year better off

Not using the internet affects access and opportunities in the job market

The need to be online is now greater than ever as ‘digital’ increasingly becomes the preferred way of conducting transactions (for example with applying for Universal Credit, Bank Accounts etc)

What We Currently Do

We are working with new tenants to see how we can help them get on-line. This has included a pilot where some of our new tenants have received a tablet at the tenancy sign up. The tablets hold all of the tenancy documents and we encourage tenants to contact us and use our services on-line

Our Tenant Participation and resource room has 4 PC’s which are available for tenant’s use during working hours. We have a number of volunteers and we will be holding training sessions for tenants based around enhancing I.T confidence and skills

Our Realise Your Potential scheme works with clients to identify training needs. I.T. is a common area where clients identify that they need to improve upon

We regularly signpost our tenants and RYP members to available I.T. training including linking up with the Job Centre Plus to advertise upcoming training groups or sessions

We are looking to recruit tenants who are enthusiastic users of the internet and could help our other tenants get on-line. If you are interested then please contact us
